Hello Caldera!!! I'm here all week!

ud think id be used to it by now but seeing “black fatigue” getting taken by white conservatives and twisted to mean “fatigue of being around black people and all their ghettoness” yadda yadda instead of what it actually means….a phrase coined by black ppl meaning “a natural traumatic response to black people living under white supremacy” is so like….we r never getting out of this cycle they did it with woke which is a more egregious example but they literally take phrases from us all the time and use them incorrectly at us as a weapon you cant even make phrase to define ur experience as a black person in this country without it being stolen and used to demean you 😭 i wish yall thought everything we did and said was ratchet i hate when yall get whiffs of aave and then it gets into those communities and they turn it into something else

This is what having auditory processing issues is like.

Parliament is still sitting so you still have time to contact your representatives!

Two counter protest events have been made as Far-Right groups, Such as One Nation, attempt to coordinate across the country! Magandjin ('Brisbane') on 12th of July at King George Square! Naarm ('Melbourne') on 4th of July at Parliament House steps! In the mean time spread the word, make more posts about it all, email or call your MP and tell the community! If you're outside of Australia your reblogs are very valuable! If you're an ally then you need to get noisy and stand up for trans folk, make sure we're not the only ones talking about it

do you guys remember when we googled something and we would get results that were actually related to the things we searched

we simply do not give enough attention to the fact that the US is. Shooting itself in the foot at every turn. not in a individual incompetence way, not an an orange idiot in the White House Way, but in a “the US spent a century designing a world order where everyone was either reliant on the US or terrified of the US (often both) and now people at every level of federal government are destroying that system” way. While USAID very much did in fact contribute to like, food and medicine and whatever to people in need around the globe, this was not out of the kindness of American hearts, this is an arm of liberal empire. the carrot so to speak. and as for the stick, the point of having a military the size of the US military is not to use it. It’s to park on peoples lawns until they stand down. when you use it, and then lose, or deliver anything other than immediate and crushing defeat, you illustrate to the people whose lawn you’re parked on that spending billions of dollars isn’t enough to win a war necessarily. Iran could have closed the strait at any point, but they didnt bc the USA would bomb the shit out of them. When they get bombed first, there’s no reason not to close the strait. The US played its hand and it came up wanting. this is to say nothing of the damage to alliances with other liberal democratic countries. the people currently in power swallowed USA propaganda hook line and sinker, believed in it so completely, that theyre shaking the foundation of what lent that propaganda its believability. to say nothing of the fact that their aims are despicable, their methods are just. an embarrassment to empire building. they took a perfectly good empire and started lopping shit off. they’re trying to increase the output of a machine by ripping cogs out of its still-running engine.

I've heard it described as "Trump showed up to a rigged card game and flipped over the table because he was annoyed at having to pretend to play".

Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness
